What is a kids bike?

Kids bikes are for children aged between 2 and 10 years, up to 144cm in height (look at 24” junior bikes for taller kids and teenagers). Kids bikes start with 10” wheeled balance bikes and move through various wheel sizes up to 20” mountain, road and hybrid style bikes.

What size bike does my child need?

Kids bikes are sized by wheel size from 10” up to 20”. You can either choose a wheel size based on age or height. Have a look at at the chart below for advice on which wheel size is best suited to your child’s height and/or age.

What are the best bikes to start cycling on?

Balance bikes are the ideal bikes to start on. They are very easy to ride and allow your child to learn essential balance skills without getting tangled up in the pedals. Children who start out on a balance bike will easily make the jump up to a pedal bike, without the need for stabilizes.

What about stabilizers?

12”, 14” and even 16” wheeled kids’ bikes are often supplied with stabilizers. These can still be used to help your child learn to cycle and can easily be removed once they are ready to balance by themselves. If your child started on a balance bike, then they won’t need to have stabilizers fitted.

What about brakes?

All pedal bikes are supplied with brakes that are designed for small hands. Both disc and calliper brakes offer plenty of stopping power. Balance bikes tend not to be supplied with brakes as feet on the ground are all a young child needs to stop safely.

Do kids bikes have gears?

Most kids bikes offer a single gear to keep things simple. 20” wheeled bikes often feature 3-8 speed gears, controlled with one simple (usually grip) shifter These simple systems are a good introduction to gear shifting. More gear options are found on Junior bikes.

Are some kids bikes lighter than others?

A lighter bike will encourage your child to cycle as it will be easier and more fun to ride. Child centred brands like Early Rider and Frog acknowledge this and produce lighter bikes than most of their competitors.
